A Better Gift
Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for Christmas morning. Time can’t be given, but it can be shared. (Cecelia Ahern, Irish novelist)
Two weeks to Christmas. While you’re shopping, wrapping, baking and cooking, you’re thinking of those who’ll be on the receiving end of your generosity. But there is one gift you can give that is more important than what you’ve bought and wrapped: TIME. Spending significant time with family and friends will create memories that will last long after the gifts are forgotten.
This time I don’t want to make just a short visit and then go right on. I want to come and stay awhile. (1 Corinthians 16:7)
